Been years and every morning I still wake up and think about Disco Elysium

Reclaiming Baptism: Being in Water Together (A Sermon at Oaklife Church on July 20th) I preached at OakLife Church, where I was baptised, on July 20th this year. I connect faith to Attachment Theory and talk about the physicality of the act of baptism.

A filibuster is just an acoustic hackathon

I believe riding the bus drunk wearing headphones feels exactly as decadent and transcendent as the inaugural ride on the Concorde

The administration got rid of 18F under the cover of night. People who own skyscrapers are afraid of 100 people who make websites.

Not because of the latest tech fad, but because we proved the government can be fixed, the government can be made better and the government can work for the people.

“The cameras are staying on,” says Hochul.

Did you know the most powerful force for climate action is LOVE—for our children, their future, and the world they’ll inherit?

That's right! Research shows this message moves hearts 12x more than jobs and 2x more than extreme weather.

This is also why I hate the “BREAKING NEWS” posts that contain not a single link to a reputable news source.

you’re not breaking news. You’re just being annoying.

THEY’RE CLIMBING THE POLES IN TOKYO GO BIRDS🦅🦅🦅

now that DeepSeek has completed AI, we hope that Silicon Valley will turn its attention to the next best thing: investing in rural history museums

This is blatant disinformation. Executive orders from the President of the United States do not nullify the Constitution of the United States. Birthright citizenship is quite literally written into the Constitution. If you needed more reason to cancel your subscription to WaPo, this should be it.

Pete Buttigieg has a few things to say on his way out Buttigieg is putting on a brave face.

I had a chance to chat briefly with Pete Buttigieg last week for (I think?) our fifth interview of his tenure as USDOT secretary. We talked EVs, robotaxis, Donald Trump, climate change, active transportation, and what do about Elon Musk. www.theverge.com/2025/1/13/24...

In 1996, Utrecht NL transformed a 6-lane car street thru the heart of the city into a car-free street that easily carries 40k people on bikes a day plus a LOT of public transit riders —far more people now than ever moved on it in cars. And with so much less pollution/emissions, noise & public cost.

Was there a single useless dem who actually defended immigrant workers who are here on H-1B visas, or spoke about the plight of those here on spousal visas? Like, one?

The internet is an incredibly isolating place now and I am privileged enough to belong to resilient, tech-literate communities that survive enshittification. I am upset for the many, many people that are losing the ability to connect with their loved ones.

My mother showed me her Facebook and asked why everything was AI-generated and how she could see her friends again. I am sad that I don’t have an answer for her. Facebook is essential for many folks who can’t learn new things and it is so violent to cut them off from friends and serve them slop.

So cool to see colour e-ink passenger information displays on the Taipei MRT. Feels less obtrusive than an LCD screen while still allowing PSAs to be displayed.

Is there a larger conversation about box blocking in nyc i an get plugged into? i feel like in the last few years, box blocking has gotten really egregious. what can we do to get drivers to only cross an intersection when there is room to cross?
